As I lie in the dark
My mind wanders
Drifting from place to place
from thought to thought
It strays into the valley of death
and I Know I'm gone

My breath becomes heavy and ragged
My body too small to hold me
A sharp pain in my head
A scream escapes my mouth
My limbs thrash, violently

I feel the pain
The world returns
I look at the clock

Sigh
Close my eyes
And my mind wanders
